Newspaper Syndicate. "Another daughter? Seven In little more than ten years. What w to be* come of that family is beyond me. John and Mollie ought to see that it is actually criminal?having a family of this sort, wltlwio chance of providing for it," Mrs. Fortner commented fretfully, looking up from the special letter in her hands. v Miss Drave, her spinster sistcr-inlaw, said acidly: "Seems like they're proud of their performance?in such a hurry to let you know of it." "They are! You should.- -hear-Mollle," Mrs. Fortner Yettirned.*'Snys slie Is so lucky?has never had to make a single set of baby-clothes?Just a piece at u time, as the first were handed down. And that she cnn be thrifty Svithout hurting the children in the least?they don't have to wen J things the least bit tight?shoes even can be passed on, so no feet are cramped. I feel like shaking her?but what good would it do? John Is just as bad. I asked him what under1 the sun he expected to become of his family, lie only grinned and told me there might be too many women,'but never in the world could there be loo lhany good wives. Like Mollle, I suppose he meant. Anyway, he sounded mad to me. No girl can marry well if 'she Is not well brought forward. Though I can possibly do something if I live to see them grown, I doubt if one of the flock will have looks enough or wit enough to make her worth my bringing out." "You'd have to dress-, her?and everything. Brother 'Lislia would J never stand for that," Miss Drave said reflectively. . .Mrs. Fortner cast up her eyes, saying piously: "Life is uncerFaln. Now of us can count on it." If there was a note of regret over the uncertainty it was too well masked to till a casual ear. Mrs. Mollle Bryson's sole regret over her seventh daughter was i lint she herself was not likewise a seventh. That would mean untold luck for the small adorable mite?even better luck than having come into a place full of loving welcome. John had a fair salary?they ownqd a bit of a home instead of having life insurance, so with a trifle of savings against emergencies, what need was there for worry? Mrs. Fortner was John's half-sister, the rich woman of the connection, so of course her attitude toward the Brysons set the family tone. All hands agreed that seven girls iike stair steps were next door to a criminal offense? one that fate could not afford i <1 leave unpunished. SparSe visits to 4he Bryson home usually mitigated the visitors' harsh judgment. The girls wore adorable?rosy, radiant, reasonably obedient, sunshiny spirits singularly alike, yet agreeably different. it was not, after all, so strange that John, who had put by ambition to lie an artist for a steady job, and that Mollle * ' 1? .1... f.

I'retty girls, very pretty girls, with sweet home voices, adorable dancing feet, and Madame Mollie's knack of cookery, sewing and home-making, they were married out of hand, as it were, before they came to nineteen; to the rout and confusion of Mrs. Fortner, by that time a well-dowered widow, who offered to take I. note, the eldest, and give her a two years* chance to marry well that is to s;1y, rich.

It did not in the least console them that Marie said, trying to giggle: 'Dad, don't spoil your beauty ?you know you've, got your soudaugbter left." "For how long, I wonder?" John said, viciously.

Whereupon Miss Lane incontinently vanished, leaving her father puzzled for just a minute. "Why, it's .Marion's doing?Miss Lane, you know ?she is really my girl?I let her come to hold the place," he began. "Please cull her back!" Gayersou interrupted.

BRITISH FORCE GOT GOOD DRUBBING Americans Under Shelby, C!ark and Williams Went After a Superior Force of British a/nd Tories, and By; Good Strategy and Hard Fighting; Won the Victory. Newberry News and Herald. The fight, at Musgirove's mill was one .of the important battles of the Revolu'tion in South Carolina and shines like; a brilliant jewel out of an uncertain past. The date, was August 18th, 1789. This was only two days after the disastrous defeat of Gates at what is known as the "Battle of Camden," but! the participants in the Musgrove affair were ignorant of the results at Cam-1 den. The leaders on the American side , were: Col. Shelby frOm the Holston River country in Tennessee (then North Carolina), Col. Elijah Clarke of Georgia, and Col. Williams, whose homo was on Little river, near the Newberry-Laurens line, ns 1 am informed. There had been some fighting at the "Old Iron Works," some miles further north than the Mu'sgfove p!a<je and Col. Ferguson had le't his wounded at Mu'sgrove's and had pushed on to the neighborhood of what is now the city of Winnsboro to await news of the battle of Camden. Shelby and the Others were camped at Smith's ford near the North Carblina line abou^ forty miles away from Musgrove's, on the evening of the 17th or August. ADOut two Hundred men left Smith's ford about sundown of the 17th, and riding all night arrived about 1 one mile north of the Enorce, where the mill is located, nbout dawn on the 18th. It was agreed by Shelby, Williams and Clarke that the Command should be held by all three jointly; and they sent out a scouting party, who came into conflict with a Tory patrol, several being injured on each side. At this juncture our people learned that the British had been reinforced by (2a pt. Innes from Ninety-Six with a troop of two hundred men?the regular garrison at Musgrove's being under a British officer, Major Eraser. Some have conjectured that the entire British force whs five hundred men. Our forces decided that it would be rash to attack so large a body of men and that it would be equally hazardous to retreat; and they were left no alternative but to fight. ' < When the patrol came in with news of the slight skirtnish, there was wild excitement in the British camp. Capt. Innes whs for marching over at once and "bagging the whole lot of scurvy ragamuffins" without waiting for the patrol of one hundred men who had gone about eight miles away, to return, and this was decided on. Our forces took a position on a tim- J bered ridge about half a mile on the other side of the mill and ford. The lines were in a semi-circ1? on the top f the hill about three hundred yards in length, concealed by the woods, with a hastily improvised breastwork of such material as was at hand. Shelby was on the right, Williams in the center and ?larke on the left, with twenty horsem'en on the flank under Josiah Culbertson, Capt. Inman, who had already done signal service in Georgia, with about twenty-five mounted men, went forward as a decoy, to Are upon the British at the ford, to provoke them to cross and gradually to lead them into the ambush prepared by Shelby and the others. The j^lan .worked to perfection and the British .came forward in high glee at forcing Inman at the point of the bayonet. Inman still kept up the pretended resistance until the British were near enough for our men to "see the whites of their eyes." As the enemy were in about seventy-five yards of the Americans, they being in some confusion in the ardor of the pursuit, were met with an unexpected and deadly fire from ( our side, but they bravely rallied and with a force numerically superior to ours, at the point of the bayonet pressed on the right wing of Shelby, which gradually gave way, but his left wing holding its position. Clarke sent a small! force to Slie'by's assistance and this! was timely indeed. At this Juncture, , Innes, who had led the attack, was shot from his horse by one of the riflemen from over the mountains, upoij which occurrence Shelby rallied his 1 men and gradually forced I lie assault-1 , ing party back. Culbertson's flanking j, party doing yeoman service just then. Major Fraser was also seen to' be wounded. Several of the officers of the enemy were shot down and in the rc- j suiting confusion, Clarke and the oth-i era made a furious attack on the en- j omy and soon drove them off the field;, after about twenty minutes of fighting,) in much disorder. Captain Inman wasj pressing them with his usual zeal and, fell pierced by many balls. The vocal t, discords made by the retreating British together with the moans of the dying, the smoke, the noise of battle, ail made the occasion one of great and exciting dramatic interest. The whole thing soon became a route as the persuing Americans, with sword and rifle, butchered all the enemy who were overtaken. Many of the British were, shot as they were crossing the rocky ' j Enoree. Captain Sam Moore followed across| the rivfer above where the main cross- j, ! ing was made, and fell into the enemy's . Hanks with such force that they fled j I more wildly than ever. Some of those j who had been left behind at the garrl- ' j sons, even before the Tories had rc1 crossed the river, had begun to make 1 tracks toward the fort at Ninety-Six. When the patrolling party who had i gone down the river returned and j learned of the complete route, their; % - *-, *v< - commanding -officer''trUll a terribh oath rose in his stirrpps and at th< k.ead of his men dashed across the river to the scene of the battle; but Shelby and the others had gone, carrying their prisoners with them. The British pursued no ftirthcr. Shelby said afterward that this battle Was 'Hhe hardeSi md best fought action that he'wa; jver in," for there was a large numbei jf officers with him as vo'untcers. Oui troops were thinking of making attach an Ninety-Six, but just then thej learned of the disaster that had befalisn our arms at Camden and decided t( etreat to their friendly mountains t( the northwest. They were pursued bj i strong detachment of the men of th< notoriouS'Ferguson," who at one tlm< were only thirty minutes ride behind the Americans; but being unaware ol this, turned back. She!by and his mer went to their homes beyond the moun:ains; Clarke took the rrio-pntain trail! md went back to Georgia: and Wiliarfis took the prisoners and retired tc Hilltjhoro. Thus ended this brilliant jpisode for the American arms. ' , C. J. Ramage. Saluda, S. C.

' * r f f No bird alive has keener scent, keen- ' 1 er hearing or more acute sense of smell ' than a Wild Goose. Slipping up on one I is as near to an impossibility as any ' hunting lAiown. If it ever has been ' done, accident played a large part in , ' the outcome. In my experience 11 *! never happened. I have seen . white - men, negroes and Indians try it. iThe^ 11 got* nowhcrt, at least- th,ey. never got f within gunshot pf a Wild Gppse. 1 1 A man may walk up oa' them"; by I keeping himself in the-- middle of a ' ' drove- of cattle, or close behirid.'-thp cat-j tie; but sb fa* as slipping' up. on a' Wild > Goose, or stalking him, if you prefeiv it tj is pheer nonsense... ,01d hunter*, who were likewise old fools, have many A time knocked out my chance.of killing a goose in the attempt to stalk them. Pita Dug for Them. Out west, in the wheat fields, pits are dug and men get into the pits, thus i getting geese # sometimes as they fly over. Agafrf hunters conceal themselves before day in stacks of grain and have luck this way. Tame geese .-'are uSed by some as'decoys, hardly a. 1 commendable sport; but geese are drdwn to the decoys and shot this way. My proposition was altogether different, although 1 have shot geese. in the several -ways mentioned. ThC geese, principally CunAda Geese, wltH slate-colored backs and black collar^ fed along a crooked river/ whose banks were generally high and wooded. The river Iwas narrow, the current swift and the water dark chocolate at times; at other times it was clay color. There was one place where the river made a loop, a'm^st returning tp Its'original channel. The distance across was only a few hundred yards. Fol. lowing 'the coiirsq of the Hver It is three to four miles around.' In this loop was the favorite feeding ground ot the geese, although they traveled up and down the river. There we're prob. ably several hundred geese in' the vlcfnffy, flocks containing a dozen or j; more. 1 Matter of Generalship. Goose hunting is purely a matter of generalship..: The night before I stop> ped at a farm nous?, some two miles I away, and long before day- next morn ing was on the'way t6 the hunting grounds. /A- young white boy, keen1 wltted and alert, went with me. We i: crossed the river on a ferry-boat, then , proceeded' to inspect- the water in the bends. It was not long before we saw 1 down floating on the water, where -the geese had been preening their feathers. Thie was a proof that 'they were above us.' Taking a-htand .in a thick place, I sent the boy far around so that he would strike the river above the geefie, i which was not'hard to do, as he could . hear them-at 8omedJstanoyi(frPn& the river. ? x: 1 It was a long wait; I had told him that when he struck the -r^ver, he must j come down slowly, getting as close to the birds as he could before flushing them; . Owing to his weight it requires considerable flight before a wild goose can . rise above steep banks and trees. Day was breaking now and a tnist clung to the water, but too thin to obscure 'VlBion. When I was almost worn out with > waiting1 and had cofne to the-conclus' ion that there was a hitch in the plan, a great quacking broke tho stillness of . morning, an uproarious concert of sounds. IrPa few. seconds-the old gander, leading the flock, broke into view around the bend and was naxt instant alongside. Giving him a good lead, 1 \\ fired -and the shot caught him in the ' neck, killing fiim instantly and spinning him around as he dropped into ' mid-stream. With the second barrel I f wounded a goose badly, but she went on, and was retrieved later. The old gander floated for a while, then lodged against a raft far out, so i" we had to go for a boat to get him. ; The death of the leader had disconcerted the flock and a stray goose flew over me.further down the- river, so low f that there ,was no trouble in bagging , him. if It was getting on in the day, for much time was lost in retrieving the gander; so we concluded to give' it over until the'afternoon. About the turn of the afternoon, we L struck the river at a point two miles further down. There was no sign of ' down on the water, so we came out, circled into the hills and came to the river full threj miles further on. Here down floated, plenty, of it, and my companion said he heard geese. Accordingly he went around again 5 and drove the geese to me. My stand was uncomfortable, fflr it was between' a big cottonwood and the river, with a , narrow space to stand on, hard against , a canebrake. The gander in the lead this time saw me and started across * the river where there was an opening, t so I dropped him, and the flock came right over, allowing a fine chance, , which netted another goose.. This last fell just outside the fringe of trees ' and when I went out, he appeared to ! have been winged, and was balancing I himself, with his wins dropping. mi , trying to retrieve him without bruising, I he gave me a lick on the back of the ! hand with his wing that nearly wound ? up my hunting. It was worse than a i , mule's kick and the hand was swollen J for a month thereafter. 1 Thi^j was overlooked in the excite- , ment of the hunt, for the geese were j c scattered badly; one was dead on the, L Ather side of the river. Another Flock in SiflHt. While we were consulting as to the next step, my companion pulled me ' down quickly. A Hock of geese was coming across the river, headed diC rectly for our stand, for here a hedge of canes ran for some distance and they appeared to be following it. The boy killed two geese with his j first barrel and missed with the second. ( I 1 got one and wounded another, which we never got, but which was found ' next day by a countryman and caught,: r as it could not fly. Altogether that afternoon 1 got nine geese and the boy three. Getting Them Home. i , Here, we faeeil another problem, ' | namely, getting the geese home, it: was a four-mile trip and walking was: , | the only way of getting there. We had I j nine geese between us, for the three) ; killed in the morning had been sent ' home. We divided up the best way we could, but when the ferry was| , reached, with two miles to go, we were j dead beat. Fortunately, tone of the grateful! recollections of a life-time), a negro! happened along with a one-horse wag-!. Ion, into which we piled the geese and I f /. # CORN IS KING * * ^ * , t (7 Outranks Cotton by More Than Billion Dollars. V Corn supplants cotton as king of the products of the fields, according to a statement of the bureau of census. Based on the value of the prpduction of 1920, hay and forage fofowed corn, with 'cotton third. However, only 33,740,106 acres were dedicated to cottoJii whereas corn was grown on 87,771,600 and hay and forage on 96,1^1,228. . . : The value of the corn crop was 63, &uf,74?,iuz; tne value or cotton ana cotion seed was $2,365,169,368!
